Welcome to the Child Support Services Department!

We are responsible for establishing and enforcing support orders when a child receives public assistance or when a parent or legal caretaker requests our services. We act in the “public interest” and do not represent any individual. Our services include: opening a case; finding parents; establishing a legal parent-child relationship; establishing child and medical support orders; and enforcing support orders. We provide these services at no or little cost to you.

All issues regarding a child support case can often be resolved without you having to go to court. This is one reason it is important that you stay in contact with our office once a case has been opened.

Our mission is to enrich our community by providing child support services in an efficient, effective and professional manner, one family at a time.

Child Support Workshops
- CSSD is hosting free workshops at five locations around the County for custodial and noncustodial parents with new cases, or who have questions about the child support process. We will explain what happens when a case is opened and why it is important to participate in your child support case. Look for a workshop near you!
